Points, Oh!

Mambo squatted down to search for a shorter vine, while Big Head and Big Ya also joined in. As Fifth Uncle and Sixth Uncle argued, Big Head and Second Head joined in. Meanwhile, Big Ya squatted next to Mambo and inquired about what she was searching for.

Upon learning that she wanted to dig up a small thorn bubble grass, everyone enthusiastically helped her find it. They quickly found a newly grown thorn bubble grass. After digging it out, they discovered that the root was too long and broke off a piece. However, not everyone minded.

Mambo held it in her hand because it was still small and hadn't grown thorns yet, so everyone felt relieved letting her hold it. This was something they often did.

Big Ya, not knowing where she had pulled a bunch of wildflowers from, asked Mambo, "Do I look good?" Mambo hesitated, finding it difficult to say it was good, but didn't want to hurt her niece's feelings, so she nodded and said, "The flowers look good."

Big Ya was delighted and happily skipped away with Second Ya.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Mambo slid down from Wu Lang's back and picked up a snake bubble from his hand but didn't eat it. Instead, she gave everything to Keke as they walked. Mambo had learned how to secretly hide things and give them to Keke under his guidance for over a year. The other children didn't notice this, and they didn't even notice when the wildflowers on Big Ya's head were lost.

After walking for a while, Wu Lang suddenly exclaimed and looked around, curious about why Fourth Brother was missing. Big Head exclaimed, "Fourth Uncle is missing."

"Wait, listen..." Big Ya hushed everyone, and they heard a faint snoring sound.

Mambo, who was next to her, was the first to push aside the grass and saw Zhou Silang sleeping soundly in the grass. Mambo was angry and about to step on him, but Big Head had already run up and squatted next to him, using a wild grass to tickle his nose.

Mambo, curious, also squatted next to Big Head and asked, "Does this work?"

Big Head used the wild grass to scratch Mambo's face and asked, "Niece, does it itch?"

Mambo couldn't help but scratch her face and eagerly said, "It itches, let me try!"

She plucked wild grass from Big Head and used it to experiment on Zhou Silang's face. Everyone gathered around and used wild grass to tickle Zhou Silang's face. He just waved his hand and turned over to continue sleeping.

This reaction made Mambo very unhappy. She stopped playing with the wild grass and shouted directly into Zhou Silang's ear, "Snake."~~~"

"Ahh—" Zhou Silang suddenly sat up and looked around, asking, "Where's the snake?" "Where's the snake?"

Mambo stared at him and said, "Fourth Brother, Father asked you to clear the land, but you're sleeping here." "I'm going to tell Father to beat you."

Zhou Silang couldn't help but pinch her cheek and said, "What else can you do besides tattling?"

Wu Lang immediately slapped his hand away and scolded, "Fourth Brother, you're bullying your younger sister."

Mambo also felt a slight pain in her face, and tears welled up. She stepped on Zhou Silang's foot and said, "Besides tattling, I can also hit you." Will you dare to hit back?

Zhou Silang, indeed, did not dare to!

Zhou Silang was so angry that Mambo had to restrain him. She coldly snorted and said, "Hurry up and clear the grass, Fourth Brother." "I'm helping you, you know."

Mambo continued using the logic she had learned from Keke, "Mother said that our family has no more than fifteen taels of silver saved up for three years." The money was intended for your wedding with Fifth Brother, but you spent it all. Now, you owe money to your sisters-in-law and the village chief's family. You have to pay back all that money! You may not marry, but the Fifth Brother must marry. Have your sisters-in-law saved up some money? Is it easy for them? Besides farming and repaying debts, what other activities are you involved in?

Zhou Silang's face turned red, but he still said, "Fourth Brother, I'm fourteen." "In two years, I have to get married. How much money can you contribute to the family?"

Zhou Silang was shocked, "Do I have to repay all that money?"

"Of course, who made you lose the money gambling?" Thinking of the neighbor's niece who was sold, Mambo felt a surge of anger and said, "People who don't change their gambling habits should have their hands and feet cut off and be thrown to the wolves in the mountains, so they won't harm others."

Zhou Silang couldn't help but step back, shivering, and pointed at Mambo, "How can you be so heartless?" "You're my fourth brother!"

"Big Ya, Second Ya, and Third Ya are also my nieces." If you gamble again and cannot repay the debt, individuals from the gambling den will come and take your family away. After they are taken away, it will be my turn, and then it will be Big Head and Second Head. After selling off the nieces and nephews, Big Brother and the others will have to repay your debts for the rest of their lives. Although you are family, you are only one person. "You can't harm so many of us just because of you, so…"

Even Big Ya and Big Head hadn't considered this before, but now, after hearing Mambo's words, they regarded Zhou Silang with hostility. Even Wu Lang and Liu Lang couldn't help but step forward to stare at Zhou Silang.

Zhou Silang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mambo, don't talk nonsense." "I've already made up my mind to change and never gamble again."

Mambo coldly snorted and said, "Then let us see your determination."

"Yes, let's see your determination!"

So, Zhou Silang had to pick up the sickle and cut the grass under everyone's gaze, while the others surrounded him and occasionally pointed out, "Fourth Uncle, there's a lot of grass here, cut here!"

"Fourth Brother, the soil here is thicker." Cut here quickly.

Mambo, led by Big Ya and Second Ya, picked a lot of flowers and made a flower crown to wear on her head.

Big Ya and Second Ya sincerely exclaimed, "Niece, you look so beautiful!"

Mambo was happy and said, "Of course, you all look beautiful too."

Zhou Silang felt extremely resentful as he listened and watched. "Why don't you all come and help?" How long will it take me to clear the land alone?

Mambo felt that she was still very diligent and immediately led the others to help.

Seeing Mambo move, the others also rolled up their sleeves and joined in.

Wu Lang took the sickle and was responsible for cutting the grass. Big Head was tasked with carrying the grass, while Zhou Lang and Zhou Silang used hoes to dig up the bushes in the ground.

Mambo led the remaining people to pick up stones, remove the stones, and clear the dead wood from the grass. The stones were placed in a circle, and the dead wood was set aside to be carried back later for firewood.

Clearing the land was indeed very difficult due to various obstacles in the ground. Even the system sighed slightly and decided not to ask the host to find plants for it anymore. It just hoped that the host would still be willing to come out tomorrow.

Mambo, tired of picking up stones, chatted with the system, "Keke, are there any plants that haven't been recorded?"

"No."

Mambo was disappointed and asked, "Why does your encyclopedia have so many errors?" "It's so annoying." "How long will it take to clear the land?"

"It's because the technological development of this plane is not advanced enough." In the future, land clearing will be done by machines. Also, although these wild plants will still exist in the future, their numbers will greatly decrease, and some plants have already become extinct. "That's why I exist."

Text: ### Mambo's focus was a bit off, and she was surprised, "So much grass, so many trees, and stones, and they can be cleared by machines?" ### Machines are devices that use energy to perform tasks. Can I buy them?

The system was silent for a moment before saying, "No, the technological level of this type of machine far exceeds the technology of this era, so it cannot be purchased." "And even if it could, host, you don't have any points."

Mambo blinked and once again appreciated these points. She used to think that points were useless, only good for purchasing candy. Even without money, she could still enjoy candy, as her second brother or father would buy her some when they went to the market.
